15: Discussing the Matters

"Kei turns around to see that Steph and the group were there. "Dammit, why did they come now? The most difficult one is left and now I can't use my army in front of them. Dammit, Dammit!" Kei then dodges Acid which was spewed by it.

'All my plans will go to waste if I can't use Morphy.' Kei then retreats back and regroups with the group who was at the entrance of the gate and because of this Acidwrym couldn't attack them. Kei asks Steph "What are you doing here? How could you come while monsters are roaming around?" Steph looks at Kei and says "I also don't know how but till the path to the boss room we couldn't find any monsters so we gathered our courage to come here and defeat the boss and leave the dungeon as soon as possible."

Kei sighs as he didn't think of the possibility that the group would come to attack the boss. He thought they would be scared that the dungeon had evolved and that they would wait for the reinforcement to clear the dungeon.

The group was getting ready to attack the boss but somebody points at Maligora and asks "Isn't that Serpent Maligora? Is it already dead? Who killed it? Now can we leave the dungeon?"

Kei becomes a little nervous because now they might ask him how he killed Maligora alone. But he said "No! We can't leave the dungeon yet." Then he points at Acidwrym and says "We have two boss monsters to kill but fortunately one is already dead by the time I came here so we just have to kill the other. But let me inform you, the boss monster is no ordinary boss monster it is Acidwrym who is said to be B-ranked or even higher. So if you don't want to participate then go back to the entrance of the dungeon and wait for the reinforcements."

Kei said this and hoped that the group would go back in fear of fighting with Acidwrym which was a B-rank monster. Using that opportunity he could use Morphy and his army. The group started to whisper and they looked very nervous. Steph then says this before the group falls into chaos "Ok everyone let's calm down first." After the group hears this they calm down a little because they know Steph would come out with a solution for all of them.

"I want to ask everyone present here, who wants to fight with the boss monster. Remember this no one would blame you if you choose for any of the options." Hearing this the group members became conflicted. They wanted to stay and attack the boss monster to get the spoils of the dungeon but they were afraid of losing their lives.

After a few minutes, most of the members started to vote that they wanted to fight with Acidwrym. Steph informs the people who hadn't raised their hand "To the people who haven't raised their hand please decide your representative who would lead you out of here because I will be attacking." All the group members started to protest after hearing this.

Those who wanted to attack the boss were saying that they would have a lack of manpower and those who didn't want to attack said that they only trusted Steph to lead them.

Steph was helpless in this situation and he couldn't come up with an answer as to what to do but at that moment Kei stepped up and took the situation into his own hands. "Everyone, PLEASE BE QUIET." Kei shouted and everyone fell silent. "To those who don't want to attack please leave without saying anything. We are not requesting anything from you and letting you take your decisions so let Steph also decide his decisions. He has already chosen to attack so respect his decisions." then Kei points them to go back and after some moments they leave.

Kei turns to the people who were still standing there and he says "I know you may be worried that there would be a lack of hunters to hunt the boss but I want to assure you all that even if we had the people who left then also we wouldn't have that much of a difference. If they are unwilling to fight then they are as good as useless." The people looks at Kei with a strange emotion in their eyes. They still couldn't trust Kei and they didn't know how they would win against Acidwrym without more people.

Steph sees Kei helping him handle the situation so he steps up and says "Let's trust Kei for now. He is a C-rank hunter and the best chance we have in this situation." The group members agree with what Steph has said and they listen to Kei's plan.

After Kei told them his plan they were dumbfounded and somebody asked "Is this even possible? If we fail then we might all die! " Steph was also not convinced hearing Kei's plan and he was going to say this Kei but before he could he could do anything Kei takes out his blade and sliced.

The man who was protesting got his hair cut and Kei said in a cold voice "IT, WILL, WORK." The man and the others instantly stopped protesting as they saw the power Kei held. They couldn't even see the attack by Kei so they knew that Kei is powerful enough to carry out the crazy plan he had put out.

After taking a break of 15 minutes Kei takes the lead of the group and opens the gates of the dungeon again and says "If you want to leave then leave right now." then he gives them a cold "But if you throw a tantrum inside the room then no matter what." Kei's eyes starts to glow due to Mana "I will personally kill you ."Then he enters the room
